24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a run of rather disappointing efforts when scoring at Hexham last month (2m4f, good) and better than he showed last time as his saddle slipped on home turn; interesting. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Took advantage of his reduced mark and some better ground to win off 3lb lower mark over 2m4f here last time (good); may fare even better up to this trip (3m Irish point winner). |

Very hard to fancy on what he's shown over fences/hurdles since last October; however, he's tumbled down the weights and the two best RPRs in his career have been achieved at Hexham, so no surprise to see a good run. |

Maiden hurdle winner earlier this year has been mixing this sphere with chasing and on the Flat since, running mostly well in defeat; fell just short once again on his handicap debut at Punchestown last month; up another 2lb but a leading contender. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a half-length success in Class 2 event over C&D (good to firm) and is only 2lb higher back here; possibilities with Chester reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal. |

May well have won at Chester (10.3f, good) in May granted a clear run; just 1lb higher today but Royal Ascot next time was a backward step and he was tailed-off last in a top handicap at York on latest outing. |

Didn't really progress in his three bumpers and was tailed off at 40-1 on hurdling debut at Hexham (2m, good) last month; this stiffer stamina test could suit on pedigree but he needs to leave that latest form well behind. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Bits of low-level form for Chris Grant and she managed third of eight in a maiden at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) 15 days ago on debut for new yard, albeit 29l behind the runner-up; tried cheekpieces/visor on last two starts; not entirely dismissed in this weak handicap. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Did not make the frame in seven starts under rules for Chris Grant; first-time cheekpieces saw no improvement when eighth of 12 finishers at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month and subsequently sold for £1,000; first-time visor is now applied on stable debut but she is hard to fancy. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Unexposed after only five hurdling starts and ran well for a long way when fifth (behind Killybegs Jet Lady) at Cartmel (2m6f, soft) last month; not out of this if combination of better ground and new cheekpieces helps. |

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March; should be okay back at 2m on this stiff track but 7lb rise demands more from him. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

10st 10lb |
Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |

Perhaps in the grip of the assessor since the last of his four wins this term; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim may offer some help but this assignment looks difficult. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

Made very good progress in second half of last year, with the last two of his four wins gained over C&D (soft; also suited by good); returned from ten-week break with very respectable effort in 0-130 grade at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and might still be on the upgrade. |
